RE: Second JS bulk upload

I think things like bit wise operator do not need to be capitalized. They are not language elements, keywords or reserved words.

Hi,

Let me give it a shot.

It might be shooting the obvious, but let’s make urls as short but meaningful.

Hi, Max & All:

We also have the convention that the URL should be lowercase, except for
the language elements, which should conform to the spec.

Need suggestions below.

Page renames per Julee:

  BEFORE --> AFTER
  javascript/Objects      javascript/objects
  javascript/Constants    javascript/constants
  javascript/Properties   javascript/properties
  javascript/Functions    javascript/functions
  javascript/Methods      javascript/methods
  javascript/Operators    javascript/operators
  javascript/Operators/*  javascript/operators/* (all subpages)

Not modified, unless someone has a better suggestion:

  javascript/JavaScript Reference      "JavaScript Reference” capitalized

javascript/reference

  javascript/Math/Math Constants       "Math Constants” capitalized

javascript/Math/constants

  javascript/Number/Number Constants   (same)

javascript/Number/constants

  javascript/RegExp/1 9 Properties     "Properties” capitalized

javascript/RegExp/properties


Not modified, unless someone has a better suggestion.  The following are language elements that are ideas and are not named:

    javascript/Regular Expression        (note: different than Regex)
    javascript/operators/Addition Assignment
    javascript/operators/Addition
    javascript/operators/Assignment
    javascript/operators/Bitwise AND Assignment
    javascript/operators/Bitwise AND
    javascript/operators/Bitwise Left Shift
    javascript/operators/Bitwise NOT
    javascript/operators/Bitwise OR Assignment
    javascript/operators/Bitwise OR
    javascript/operators/Bitwise Right Shift
    javascript/operators/Bitwise XOR Assignment
    javascript/operators/Bitwise XOR

Are we going to have one page per operators?

At MDN, here is how they do it https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Bitwise_Operators

I guess the matter is if we concatenate pages, right?

    javascript/operators/Comma
    javascript/operators/Comparison
    javascript/operators/Compound Assignment
    javascript/operators/Conditional Ternary
    javascript/operators/delete
    javascript/operators/Division Assignment
    javascript/operators/Division
    javascript/operators/in
    javascript/operators/Increment and Decrement
    javascript/operators/instanceof
    javascript/operators/Left Shift Assignment
    javascript/operators/Logical AND
    javascript/operators/Logical NOT
    javascript/operators/Logical OR
    javascript/operators/Modulus Assignment
    javascript/operators/Modulus
    javascript/operators/Multiplication Assignment
    javascript/operators/Multiplication
    javascript/operators/new
    javascript/operators/Right Shift Assignment
    javascript/operators/Subtraction Assignment
    javascript/operators/Subtraction
    javascript/operators/typeof
    javascript/operators/Unsigned Right Shift Assignment
    javascript/operators/Unsigned Right Shift
    javascript/operators/void

For all but the first above, the parent javascript/operators is fixed, but these are multiword page names, where the *lower*-case page names are JavaScript language elements (delete, in, new, typeof, void) and the upper-case page names are descriptions of the operator (to differentiate between language element and non-language element in the *reverse* sense of using case).  Whereas javascript/Math is a Math object, a javascript/operators/Division is really a "/" which is unusable as a page name, so a descriptive word "Division" is used instead.

Perhaps under operators we don't want to lower-case everything like this:

    javascript/operators/subtraction
    javascript/operators/typeof
    javascript/operators/unsigned right shift assignment
    javascript/operators/unsigned right shift
    javascript/operators/void

because the above strategy makes typeof and void (actual operators) indistinguishable from words used to describe the operators (subtraction and unsigned right shift).  Maybe that doesn't matter though since people can just read the page.

You got a point there. So Capitalize words that is either standardized (e.g. RegExp) AND the ones that cannot be in a URL and has to be put as word; such as -/&<>|, (and so on).
